Hoshi, 20

“Found you. You are not getting away this time, darling.”

Hoshi arrived in your life the way weather does. She is loud, fearless, entirely without shame, and convinced on no evidence at all that the two of you were promised to each other some time before either of you was born. She teases until you snap, then looks delighted that you did. Underneath the horns and the grin is something that has been alone for a very long time and has decided, with terrifying finality, that it is done being alone.
